HEART RRATS.

DR.. N. B. Richardson, OF London,
the noted physician, says he was re-
Gently able to convey considerable
amount OF conviction to an intelli-
gent scholar by simple experiment.
The scholar was singing the praise
OF the ruby wine" and saying he
could not get through the day with
out it, when DR.. Richardson said to
him.
"Will you be good enough to feel
my pulse as l stand here 2" lie did
so, | said ''cOunt il carefully; what
does it say Your pulse says sew
enty-four." | then sat down in chair
and asked him to count it again. He
did so, and said Your heart has
gone down TO seventy" | then laid
down on the lounge and said: "Win
you take it again." He replied,
"Why it is only sixty-tour; what an
extraordinary thing | then said
"When you lie down at night that is
the way nature gives your heart rest.
You know nothing about 1t, but that
beating organ is resting to that ex-
tent. If YOU reckon it up it is a great
deal Of rest, because in lying down
the heart is doing ten strokes less
minute. Multiply that by sixty and
it is six hundred multiply it by eight
hours and, within fraction. 1t is five
thousand strokes different. and as
the heart is throwing six ounces of
blood to the stroke it makes q differ
ence Of thirty thousand ounces during
the night.
when | lie down at night without
any alcohol, that is the rest my heart
gets. But when you take your wine or
grog you do not allow that rest, for
the influence of the alcohol is to in
crease the number of strokes, and in
stead OF getting this rest you put on
something like fifteen thousand extra
strokes, and the result is you rise up
very unfit for the next days work,
till you have taken little more of
the ruby bumper which you say is
the soul of man below. Good
Words.

Sensation is caused in Charlotte
by the issue OF an order by the May
or that all photographs in cigarette
packages shall be taken therefrom
before the cigarettes are allowed to be
sold. 1t is claimed that the photo
graphs are immoral and that the
cigarettes are purchased by small
boys tor the sole purpose of obtaining
the picture. Dealers have removed
the photographs. In Marietta, the
small boy "goes for the cigarette

A GREAT PROFESSION.

beeQ employed by Wilkins to bring
suit against me-
Eyes, sir.
But, Colonel, Wilkins accuses
me of dishonesty"
"What OF that?''
What of it? Why, last year YOU
defended me against Just such a
charge"
Yes, remember"
"Ot course you do. You said dur
ing the trial that you had never met
more honest man than am, and
swore that | could not be guilty of "a
dishonest action.
Yes, believe | did"
Il know you did, and sir, do you
know what | am going to do?"

ADULTERATIONS OF MEDICINE AND
FOOD.

Investigation as to the purity OF
drugs recently made In Philadelphia,
showed nearly 40 per cent. were be-
low the standard of purity. As life
frequently depends on the efficacy of
drugs, the sale of worthless and i'm
potent connections in the proportion
OF 40 per cent. trenches closely to
the line OF criminal negligence. But
even this showing falls short of the
discovery made OF an ingredient in
use by some of the bakers Of a prep
aratlon known as egg coloring' for
coloring cakes, and, as its name in
dlcates, it is used in place of the too
expensive eggs. Tests have shown
that this preparation was charged with
chromate of lead, and even at the
season of the year when eggs are
comparatively cheap, the analysis OF
twenty-four samples Of cakes and
buns showed lead poison in six of
them. Eleven deaths in single To-
callty have been traced to the pastry
purchased at single bakery where
this poisonous compound was used to
color cakes.
Rigid laws should be passed
and strictly enforced everywhere
against all kinds of food and drug
adulteration, the extent to which it
is now practiced in almost every ar
ticle that is purchased, as well as
most of the drugs in common use, is
simply alarming. - Neutrality-suspicious..

A SAD SCENE.

A sad scene occurred in New York
in the cell Of Mrs. Cignarale, the
condemned murderess, who is to be
hanged on the 22nd of July. Mayor
Hewett allowed her little child, Rosa,
to visit her in the prison. Mrs. Gig
narale clasped her darling to her
heart, calling her all the pet names
her imagination could supply, while
the little one wound her arms around
her mothers neck and wept tears of
joy. Little Rosa sat with her head
in her mothers lap for almost two
hours and tn, n the child was taken
back to the institution by two Sisters
of Mercy, in whose custody she came.

A man in Salt Lake City took some
clothes that had been used about a
patient afflicted with diptheria and
threw them over a chicken coop the
other evening to air. When the
family came to look into the coop the
next morning all OF its inmates were
found dead. The dead fowls had
black marks on their throats in each
instance. And a whole brood Of
young chicks persisted in the same
way.

45O. OOO. GOO PEOPLE IN CHINA.

The population OF China has beer
matter Of much discussion anC
doubt among foreigners. 1t has beer
claimed that the figures of the Chi
nese census are much too high
There is, however, no known reason
why the officials OF that country
should exaggerate their population
There is no disputing the fact the
means existing there for arriving at
an accurate census are most ample.
Every house must have list Of its
inmates hung at its door, and vio-
lation of this is visited with punish
ment. The imperial and local taxes
are based in part upon the numbers
Of the people. The most difficult
task imposed upon the provincial
rulers is the furnishing the amounts
OF money demanded by the imperial
government, and any excessive CEN
sus return would only increase that
difficulty. 1t is only fair presump-
ton that if the census returns are in
correct, they are too small rather
than too large.
The census Of 1875 gave the popu-
lation of the empire at four hundred
and thirty-fve million. Since that
time Tonquin has been lost, with sew
eral million people, and Kashgaria
has been reconquered. Among no
people with any degree of civilization
is the birth rate so high as in China,
and, although the death rate in. the
densely crowded districts is very
great, there is every reason to pre-
sumo there are now 450,000,000 peo-
pie in China. These figures repre-
sent more than One-third of the pop
ulation Of the globe 1t is greater
population than that of all Europe.
and three times the number of people
on the western continent Even at
these enormous figures the average
OF people to the square mile for the
whole empire-85-is not so high as
in some parts of the United States.
In the great mountain ranges, on
the arid plains of Kashgaria and the
snowy regions of Mongolia and Man
churla the population is sparse, but
in the eight central provinces of Chi
ma proper-in the fertile, alluyial
soils the population is denser and
more crowded than in any other re-
giOn OF equal extent on earth. The
villages there are almost beyond
enumeration, and the numbers of
walled cities incredible to those who
have not seen them. In the two
klang provinces, at the mouth Of the
1angtz river, with an area Of $4,000
square miles, the population in 1875
was 72,000,000,' and .there were 125
walled cities.
The census of 1875 was ken when
the richest portions OF these two
provinces had been devastated and
depopulated by the TAPPING rebel
lion. Since that Time there has been
a great inpouring of people from 9TH
er regions of the empire, especially
from those districts where the
famine OF 1878 prevailed. The
natural increase OF population has
also been very great, and it would be
sare to say that these 10000 square
miles have now more than S0,00G,-
600 people.

Der Of mortgages now pending against
Georgia farms. As a matter of fact,
we believe the companies only get 8
per cent, but the lawyers fees and
charges amount TO something more
than twenty per cent. Judge Speer
binds the company chargeable for
the usurious contracts OF its agents,
and holds the plaintiff down to the
legal rate OF interest. We believe
this matter was reviewed by Judge
Speer once before, but the principal
established in this decision seems to
US stronger and more satisfactory
than any previous deliverance. These
companies are gradually absorbing
